Wildekrans Barrel Select Reserve Chenin Blanc 2012

Harvested from the oldest, most southern planted Chenin Blanc blocks in RSA 1981. This is the reason for the great richness of this wine. A fresher approach to its previous models with clean white stone fruit flavours, tropical undertones, carefully integrated with spicy/vanilla notes 30% new oak, 70% second and third fill barrels.

Definitely Thai and Indian foods, bit of sweetness on the palate, so it will cut through all richer, spicier foods.
